Over One Year Later and New Surprises :)
WORTH IT$3,500
So I decided to have breast reduction because my breasts were weighing me down. Although my doctor couldn't give my 40 year old frame 20 year old boobies, I was glad to go through surgery. No regrets. I had very wide breasts so there was only so much he could do.
My smaller breasts helped me get into shape and I lost 10 pounds while watching my food intake and doing a mix of belly dancing and P90X. I was looking so good my husband and I couldn't keep our hands off each other. Just as my 41st birthday rolled around, I found out I was pregnant with my first child!!! I didn't think I could get pregnant which is why I finally decided to have the surgery. I am still thankful for the surgery and glad that I don't have to carry large breasts and a growing baby in my belly. Just hoping i can breast feed and my midwife thinks I will be fine.
My scars are very dark right now due to hormones but I expecting my little baby girl in just 2 weeks. Let's hope she inherits my husband's side of the family to avoid my family curse and won't have to have surgery like I did.

3 Months Post-Op
I just went to see my PS for the 3 month post-op visit. He said my scars are better than average and will start to lighten up soon. I expressed concerns that he said small D even possible large C and I am probably a DD. He said there was nothing he could do to make me smaller. Still 100 times better than before, just wanted itty bitty [RS bleep] committee membership. No real changes from two to three months in shape but the scars are starting to flatten out. I'm just using rose hip seed oil on the incisions, nothing fancy. Still having neck and shoulder pain but less than before surgery. With my 2K deductible and 20% coinsurance, surgery came out to about 3.5K. A small price to pay for a huge boost in confidence. Hope all you brave ladies are doing well!

You look great :) The rosehip oil works well I think. I used it myself, but found it hard to spread out, so I added it to a cream I made instead, and this might be all in my head, but I think my scars have faded considerably. I had to smile when I saw your comment on bikinis. I have been obsessed with them lately, and have finally decided to make my own. And at the moment I'm busy making a vintage style playsuit, something I'd never in a million years have felt comfortable wearing a year ago. Yay for Breast Reduction surgery :)

Wow - thanks for posting all the pictures! It was really helpful to see pre op, 2days post op and then progressing as you were healing. I know now if (when) mine swell up, I'll come back and look at your posts and hopefully calm down :D It's such a big difference and they look AMAZING.

If I didn't know any better I would say me and you have very similar results . I also want my doc to correct the position of t
My nipples

I think you look great! The size doesn't look that big, I'm so surprised! But at the same time, I know I'd be disappointed to have to continue buying a bra in ANY family of D cups :( Your posts are hammering home the fact that I need to repeat to my ps, WHAT I WANT (and make sure he listens!) When I told him I would like to be a big B, he said he doesn't want to take out too much, to make me feel like I'm not feminine. I said I will feel JUST FINE at a big b, (or maybe a very small C). I think it's something that unless they know what it's like to carry them around for your whole life, they don't understand that we DON'T feel feminine with these saggy monsters hanging off of our chests. But I will say again, You look great, and I wouldn't have thought that you were a DD at all! :)

2 Months, Hasta La Vista Big Boobs!
Well it is has been 2 months and not too much to say. My scars have puffed up and turned red and I am thinking about scar sheets even though my PS said they are a waste of money. What do you ladies think? Have you noticed that using them made a difference? I have just started putting some salve that I got from my new job called All Good Goop. It is like an all natural Neosporin and so far the girls are responding well to it. I went clothes shopping today and bought two summer dresses off the rack that I don't spill out of and a bikini top for $13. A bikini top??!! I'm 40 and can't believe I can get into one again. I have been bad about my diet and put on a couple pounds but getting back into a workout routine with a new job is tough. No one has noticed I had surgery but I was so good at hiding it. I know I am more confident now. Hope all you ladies are healing well and enjoy your new and improved bodies. I have no regrets!!!

Omg you look wonderful! My guilty little pleasure was always swimwear but i was an F by the time i though about spending serious money and by then an ugly one was all that fit and seriously cost anyway! After getting to a size 10i i stopped swimming all together :( but now post surgery i hope i look as amazing in something as you and your new girls do in that top. Va va voom! And your scars are quite pretty! Very thin and straight! Loving it!

So glad you aren't carrying i's around anymore. You already look so incredible even in a surgical bra! I kept trying on bathing suit tops and most of them were too big. That has never been a problem before. I like these new problems :)

Its great to share this experiences with so many other women and we are all so grateful about it too! Haha i looked in the mirror in some of my tops and i look tiny! Problems? No way :D thank you for the kind words did you ever freak out and think your nipples were too high? I used to look down and see the shadow of the top of them now i can see most and i have little freak outs. Lol

I still don't like to look at my new wonky nipples but at least I don't huge areolas anymore. I'm just happy they're smaller.
June 27, 2013
Wonky!? Im sorry missy but look at your 4th picture on your June 23rd update and say wonky again. They are super symmetrical i honestly would know because one of mine is higher in the areola than the other by 4-5millimetres.
Trust me you have great results :) but despite the fact that they are perfect i understand that you would have your doubts and insecurities, we all do i just don't think yours are valid :P

Love the bikini top!! You look great !!
July 2, 2013
What great results!!! You look fantastic! You've definitely lost weight between the before and after photos, no? I am so happy for you! Are you married? If so, how is your husband coping? Mine is nervous for me. I haven't had my surgery yet, but have made the decision to do it. I will have to wait until after my spring semester at school is out though :( So not until May. Oh, also, do you have full feeling in them, and your nipples? I am worried about that...
